Much to my surprise, I discovered a few weeks ago that -exec is
deprecated. Apparently one should use -execdir instead (see manpage
for details).

I can't remember exactly what I was doing at the time, but I found
this out when -exec started behaving in a non-familiar way. I do
recall I was quite puzzled.
